Gillott track. The sentimentalist.

Lovely stuff. That headtube. The lugs and badge are just a work of art-deco beauty.

Excellent work @falconvitesse - splendid colour, nice lug lining

Transfers in the right place

531 sticker on rear of seat tube - really???

The mark stevens flickr page is serious gillottporn - good find sir. I've still got the old man's gillott in the shed - every time I see him I pretend to have forgotten all about it! I think I need to get one of my own!

You can make out the outline of the Reynolds transfer in this image on the back of the seattube.
Yes i remember the thread, fixing up the Gillott for your dads birthday. Just keep hold of it, he is sure to forget all about it.

The drilled brake bridge is definetly an after market job.

Are you sure? It looks exactly like the one in the catalog on page 1 of this topic.

Mine isnt sleeved and according to my eye it doesnt look correctly centred either?

Apologies for the poor photograph, but just a quick update,
i have purchased some GB Coureur early Superhood levers and calipers and awaiting the arrival of a set of shortie mudguards.(there are no eyelets for full size guards on the rear).?

I wouldnt bother with guards albeit i ruined my last Brooks saddle from water getting in underneath due to wheelspray, over waxing and over stretching.

. (wrong thread!)

Yes your right I should have started a new thread but the post makes sense if you read the previous pages in this thread.
